Back in the day when I first started to pole, there were no expectations. You would go along, learn some cool moves and that would be that. As you would expect, some moves come easier than others, but that’s why you go back the following week and try again. While it’s great to be able […]
Last week I spent a few days in Las Vegas at Pole Expo. It was an amazing experience where I got to meet and pole with some of my biggest pole idols.
For those of you who may have missed it, we have just been in Vegas for the Pole Expo 2015. It was a really awesome fews days (or week if you stayed longer like us!) Our holiday is still going on with a few more days in San Diego and LA before we go home. […]
So Pole Expo 2015 is finally here! I feel like I’ve been waiting so long for this to come around (partly because I desperately need a holiday!) and now it’s finally here. I want to make sure that I take it all in and experience all that Pole Expo has to offer. A lot of […]
I was very excited to be able to do three workshops with Yvonne Smink at the Pole Rocks studio in Bookham this weekend. I had booked it up as soon as I found out about it, and was really excited to go. I first came across Yvonne Smink when the video of her winning performance at […]
One of my students came along to class last night – but only to watch. She had injured herself at home during the week and was taking time to recover. As much as she wanted to get on the pole she knew she couldn’t, and so just took in all the information she could for when […]
Apologies if you haven’t heard much from me in the last few days. I’ve been travelling about for various family and work commitments, and then of course to a pole competition. I wanted to write a diary entry for each day leading up to the competition. I always go through certain thoughts and emotions in the run […]
I read a comment from someone a few weeks ago (and can’t remember who it was!) and they were talking about putting pictures and videos up for all the world to see. The gist of the comment was about why we feel the need to put up perfect pole pictures of us doing the hardest […]
I don’t know about you but I’ve got so many pole friends – some real and others just through Facebook. I ‘like’ so many pole sites and groups that I am surrounded day in and day out with pole images, crazy flexibility tricks and our Kings and Queens of pole. I love it. It’s great for […]
The pole world is small! Yes, there are hundreds and thousands of us out there (and probably more than that too!) but in the grand scheme of things, we are a small community. In some respects this can be a great thing, and in others not so great. You know the old stereotype of what […]
